I Steal from the Poor and give to the Rich

I just got this in my E-mail from Hillary Clinton (you can sign up if you want, Barbra Boxer has a good one too) and I'm sure it illegal in some way for me to post it but whatever Im giving credit to Its source and Im sure she wouldn't care.

Robin Hood was a fool, theres no money to be made by giving to the poor, well I'm sure he skimmed a little off the top to make ends meet but Bush has got the plan down. You rob the poor then give tax breaks and No-Bid Contracts to the rich and they will give you some serious Kick backs. I mean obviously its working, just look at the Bush bankroll. That family is freaking loaded. So anyway here is what Hillary had to say about one of the latest reverse robin hood scemes of Bushs'.


Dear Friend,
Once again, the message is "you are on your own."
President Bush's budget calls for taking the $255 Social Security death benefit away from people who have just lost a loved one and cutting off the monthly Social Security survivor benefits of 16 and 17-year olds if they're no longer in school.
Ok I can see the idea is to keep kids in school but damn man thats still harsh to cut off a 16 yo orphans Social Security
George W. Bush wants to produce Social Security "savings" over the next decade at the expense of widows and orphans, even as he lavishes trillions of dollars in tax cuts on the wealthy and well-connected.
These proposals - like so many other wrong-headed ideas in Bush's 2006 budget - are morally and fiscally bankrupt. And I pledge to you that I will do everything in my power to make sure they never see the light of day.
And if anyone is still asking you just what's wrong with George Bush's leadership, tell them about his latest budget. Tell them what you think of a president who wants to cut back on the meager benefits available to the most vulnerable while he goes on rewarding the most comfortable.
Hillary '08!!
We thought the president got the message last year when Congress stopped his scheme to privatize Social Security. But, when it comes to protecting the health and well-being of America's families, this administration just doesn't get the message.
I dont think he understands that some people actually care about others well being, sometimes even more that our own wallets.
And, when people need our government to be there for them the most, this White House is painfully slow to act. That's the inescapable conclusion at which even Republican investigations of the response to Hurricane Katrina have arrived.
It's hard to judge which is doing more harm - their calculated proposals like denying benefits to widows and orphans or their mind-boggling incompetence. But, one thing's for sure. We can't let America's families bear the brunt of either their bad ideas or their stunning failures of execution.
Throughout 2006, the health and well-being of our families is on the line. That's why we've got to work as hard as we have ever worked to win the pivotal policy debates and electoral contests of this dramatically important year.
We stopped the attack on Social Security last year, and we will stop them again. Thank you, as always, for your support. It means a lot to know I can count on you to stand with me as we take on these challenges.
Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

If she is even half sincere about half the stuff she says she'd still make a decent president.
I also need to point out that yesterday we were going over grand proposals and different social programs and my friend pointed out how often he sees Bill Clinton being mentioned as providing funding for these programs and that the only time he sees Bushs name is for Funding that was cut. Just a little observation. Oh I work in a non-profit social services agency so we do look at that stuff quite often.
